HELENA, October 9.-Advices from the
Crow agency state the Indians are believed
to be all in camp and further trouble OF
any kind is not expected. Twelve lndi-
ans, including Crazy Head, have been
placed in irons and will be sent to Fort
Smelling. Notwithstanding the signal
failure of Sword Bearer to demonstrate
his power to annihilate Ruger's forces by
pointing his magic sword at him, the In
dians still have faith in him and believe
his death merely one of his feats of magic.
They say that his spirit visited the camp
Sunday night and he promised to come
again Generals Ruger and Dudley with
three companies will remain on the field.
TIDINas FROM THE FORT.
EoRT CUSTER, Nov. 9.--The Indian viii
lage was in state OF excitement last night
over the alleged visit of the spirit of
Sword Bearer who had promised to come
again and lead them out of trouble. 1t is
reported that twelve Indians were killed,
but that their bodies have not been found.
The wounded soldiers and Indians are do
ing we'll. The body of corporal Charles
Sampson. who was killed in Saturdays
fight, was buried here yesterday with mil.
itary honors. All the Indians belonging
to the agency have come in and given
themselves up. Twelve Indian prisoners
have been placed in irons at the post
blacksmith shop. The body of the squaw
killed by shell was found near the bat
tletield.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-General Ruger
telegraphs from the.Crow reservation that
the refractory Grows who were not killed
are in the guard house at Fort Custer with
one exception, and he is expected tomor-
row. Chief Deaf Bull who tried to incite
the Cheyennes is in prison. General Ru-
ger thinks the trouble with the Crows is
ended and requests authority to send Deaf
Bull 10 Fort Smelling, and discretionary
authority to send seven Others. He says
all the Crows except few scattered par
ties of no consequence, are on the reser-
yauion.
The war department has received
through General Terry advices from Cen
eral Ruge, under the date of Crow agency,
Montana, November 5, stating that the

eration of the evidence In the record Of

satisfied of the guilt of all the parties, a
careful consideration of the whole subject
leads me to the conclusion that the SEN

Michael Schwab may be modified as to
each of them in the interest of humanity
and without doing violence to public JUS
tice. As to said Samuel Fielden and Mi

Louis Lingg was prominent asitator
and took leading part in the Chicago
demonstration which eliminated in the
public meeting held at the Haymarket on
the evening of May 4, 1886. When the
police tried to break up the meeting it is
believed that Lingg threw the bomb which
killed officer Deegan outright and injured
66 policeman, of whom seven died from
their wounds. William Seliger testified at
the trial that Lingg and five Or six others
made 40 or so bombs at his house where
he lodged. Each bomb was powerful
enough to destroy 100 men if thrown into
a crowd. Seliger also testified to the dis
tribution of the bombs and how Lingg
was eager to throw bomb at the LARA
bee street patrol wagon as it was starting
Off to the scene of the explosion. At the
trial which extended over 62 days, Lingg
and six others were found guilty of MUIR
der and sentenced to death. The others
are August Spies, Fischer, A. R. Parsons,
Sam Fielden, NJ. SchWab and George En-
gel. A few days ago bombs were found
in Lingg's cell. Engel also attempted TO
poison himself the other day with mGr-
phia pills.

NEW York, November 11.-Attorney
A. H. Wagner of SO Second avenue sent
a telegram to captain Black of Chicago
yesterday, saying positively that the man
who threw the bomb at Haymarket was
in this city. Mr. Wagner was seen by a
reporter said:
Franz Mayhoff, who was convicted of
attempting to defrsud the Greenwich In
surance Company in October and sentenc-
ed to Sing Sing for four and q half years,
wrote me some days ago, and on Novem-
ber 2 went to Sing Sing, where he made
an affidavit before notary public that he
knew the man who threw the bomb. May
hoff said that early in January, 1887, he
was introduced to man named Klilnan
Schentz by William ScharH Scharf had
often told Mayhof that Schentz kne all
about anarchism. A few weeks afterwards
Schentz, in talking to Mayhoff, spoke of
anarchy, dynamite and arson, and Of the
bomb throwing at the Haymarket, Chi
cage. He told Mayhof that he resided in
Chicago at the time, and had to make his
escape because the police suspected he
was concerned. The second conversation
Mayhoff had with Schentz was in Febru-
ary, when Schentz wanted him to help
him kill man who had $1,000 Mayhof
refused to have anything to do with him,
whereupon Schentz said, "Your no good.
have done worse than this, threw the
bomb in Chicago. Others are suspected
for it, but that is none of my business" :"
He told Mayhof he had three bombs in a
satchel, and that he hid them behind a
wagon at the meeting. It had been agreed
to throw them when the police interfer-
red, but the latter come too late This is
practically all there is to the story, al
though Mayhof talked at some length.
Schentz showed bombs at variofs times,
and asserted that If the condemned anarch-
lists were hung, Grinnell and the jury
must hang also.

An Aged AlbatrOSs.

Captain Heard, master of the British
ship Duchess of Argyle, narrated to a
San Francisco Chronicle reporter the fol-
lowing curious circumstance relating to
the capture of an albatross in Australian
waters The ship was off Cape Howe
when the big bird was caught. Around
its neck was fastened a small brass
pocket compass, secured by three strands
of copper wire. The box was very much
oxidized and was opened with difficulty.
Inside a paper was found. the writing
very faded but legible. The subject was
as follows: Caught May ?, 1912. by
American ship Columbus" Captain
Heard did not Kill the albatross, but after
fixing a plate around its neck, with the
ships name, the position and date of its
recapture and the account of its original
captors, let it go to seek further adven-
lures. The date of this albatross being
first captured some forty-tive years ago
affords an interesting proof of the age
which these large marine birds attain.
Inquiries among old salts who frequent
nautical resorts elected the information
that the ship Columbus was one of the
early vessels trading from Boston to the
East Indies In the '40s.

The Largest Farm in the World.

Our Eastern farmer may obtain a new
idea of large farms from the description
given below, furnished to the st. Louis
RepubIic0n by a correspondent. 1t is To-
Gated in the southwest corner of Louis
lana and extends 100 miles north and
south and many miles east and west. 1t
is owned and operated by Northern CAPT
talists, whose general manager, J. B.
Watkins, gives the following account of
it's working:
'The 800, 600 acres of our tract, :"
Mr.. Watkins said, "was purchased in
1888 from the State of Louisiana and
from the United States Government. At
that time it was vast grazing land for
the cattle of the few dealers in the neigh
borhood. When I took possession l
found over 10000 head of haIf-wild
horses and cattle. My work was to di-
vide the immense tract into convenient
pastures, establishing stations or ranches
every six miles The fencing alone cost
in the neighborhood of $50, 900. The
land / found to be best adapted to rice,
sugar, corn and cotton. All our cultivat
ing, ditching, ETC., is done by steam
power. We take a tract, say half
mile wide, for instance, and place an en-
gine on each side The engines are pOrta-
bic, and operate a cable attached to four
pIows, and under this arrangement we
are able to pillow thirty acres a day with
only the labor of three men. Our har
rowing, planting and other cultivation
is dOnei in like manner. In fact, there IS
not a single draft-h0rse on the entire
place We have, of course, horses for
the herders of cattle, of which we now
have IS, 600 head. The Southern Pacific
Railroad runs for thirty-six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats,
operating on the waters of our own es-
tate. upon which there are 800 miles
navigable waters We have an ice-house,
bank, ship yard and rice mill. Our

Electric Railroads

In Montgomery, Alabama, electricity
is used on eleven miles of road, and the
cost is reported by the general manager
to be only one-half the cost of horse
power. Roads on which electricity takes
the place of horses are found in Balti-
more. Los Angeles, Port Huron, Detroit,
Scranton, Appleton, Wisconsin and
Denver. Electric railways are either in
course of construction or under contract
in twelve other cities, and thirty-seven
companies have been formed or other
steps taken for the building of such
roads. Electrical ReUieac.

| berries. He thinks If is a safe rule for
all grapes to be bagged by the time the
concord attalns size of, say, one-fourth
OF an inch In diameter, and as much
sooner as possible.
Procure new crop turnip seed and have
| the ground fine. The rows NAV be wide
apart, so as to allow for working with
the cultivatOr. The ground should be as
fine as an ash heap. Drop the seed In
small clusters, about six inches apart in
the rows, as the insects will often destroy
young turnips. If too thick, when up
they can be thinned out Too much fine
well-rooted manure cannot be used on
turnlps. Do not put turnips on ground
occupied by corn the previous year.
To secure full blooming among roses
after blooming in the spring, the strong
new canes should not be cut back, but be
allowed to remain and be bent down to
or toward the ground, fastening them Sc
curely with pegs. In this position a
great many shoots will start out with
more or less bloom. In the following
spring cut away as much of the previous
years growth as may be thought best.
Very strong growing kinds can be al
lowed more wood than the weaker ones.
Sometimes IT happens that geraniums
from late spring cuttings, planted in rich
moist soil, grow all to leaf and yield but
few flowers. To do better than this they
should become potbound and show
bloom before planting out Planting
pots and all is of doubtful benefit.
Better have the soil less rich by digging
deep. With a moist season and rich soil
no geraniums flower well. Old cutback
plants, full of shoot and bloom, planted
out the latter part of May, should flower
we'll all summer.
Newly planted trees often suffer APP
parently for want of water, when really
there is much moisture in the soil. This
usually comes from the earth not having
been packed in tightly about the roots
at planting. Hence a good plan in such
cases is to pound the earth with heavy
hammer around the trees. After this
practice it will be noted often that the
earth looks quite damp in the morning
where it seemed hard and dry before
This is simply the pulverizing of the
soil so much insisted on by gardeners of
the old school.
The freight on a barrel Of nice apples
is no higher than on barrel of culls.
When they reach market the barrel of
nice apples sells for something very soon,
while the barrel of culls stands round I'M
til it looks worse and worse than at first.
Then it has to be given away almost if
sale is possible, or dumped out a total
loss and worse if sale is impossible. In
the one case there is pretty sure to be a
satisfactory price realized over and above
expenses, in the other almost with equal
certainty a deficit to be made good.

ship poor goods to market2

Farm and Garden Notes.

Don't keep ahead of the weeds, but go
hot after them.
Do not allow potatoes to be exposed to
the sun any longer than is needed to dry
them.
Mixed farming is most useful in keep
ing up the soil to degree of fertility.
The specialties engaged in should be in
keeping with the soil and conditions of
the farm.
1t is poor economy to use old and dirty
sections for comb honey. 1t will pay
better to commit all such to the flames
and buy new and clean sections for new
and delicious honey.
Every time you use the cultivator in
order to kill out the grass and weeds you
are at the same time stirring the soil,
thereby admitting more air to the roots
of the plants, providing greater amount
of moisture and converting the insOluble
Substances into plant food.
Many farmers who have an abundance
Of straw are too careless about stacking
it. The stack should be well built, even
if one intends to rot the straw. Dry
straw is comparatively light and easy to
handle, and it can be thrown from the
stack and scattered over the yard from
time to time without much trouble.
German millet, sown and lightly har-
rowed in, in the proportion of one
